Our 7 year rabbit has recently had three dental procedures done. (past three months). He has stopped eating his normal food and has been through a number if tests to try and find the cause.Dental problems was diagnosed and unfortunately a bit of liver damaged due to the bad eating. He has been through Metacam/ Petcam etc and is still getting Critical Care daily as well as a liver subelement. I have just found the pain meds makes him extremely tired...and he seems ok without it. The poor eating has unfortunately not changed very much. Our vet just say it is due to old age and not much more can be done but to keep him comfortable.
My question today is about his sudden watery eyes. Especially on the one side.
Have heard it might have something to do with roots touching the tear glands but acc to the vet, these problems should have stopped by now?
Only one exotic vet in our area. South Africa unfortunately does not really cater for rabbits as pets.
Is there possibly some help or meds for teary eyes. My heart breaks for him and i so wish there was someone here that could help. I hope he does bot have pain... (Only soft grinding of his teeth when i pat him)
Our little tripod and myself will appreciate any input... Even though it might not be too positive.
